Psalm 103:1-5 (New International Version)

1 Praise the LORD, O my soul;
all my inmost being, praise his holy name.

2 Praise the LORD, O my soul,
and forget not all his benefits-

3 who forgives all your sins
and heals all your diseases,

4 who redeems your life from the pit
and crowns you with love and compassion,

5 who satisfies your desires with good things
so that your youth is renewed like the eagle's.

Who am I and who I want to be?

When I enter a room... what vibe do I bring into the room? A positive attitude, negative, peaceful, anger... What would I like to bring into a room with me? How do I bless people? What would I like to bless people with...

I have been pondering these things. Have I the courage, humility, and self confidence to carry the things that I long to posies. The positive attitude, love, kindness, caring, peaceful attitude that I long to enter into the room with me. Blessing people with open arms, a smile, a hug, a prayer... encouragement that will stand in any situation. Am I brave enough? I know with the Lord all things are possible. With truth on my back and healing on my leg... it is a reminder that I serve a God that can break down walls and reveal all!!!

Judgement... where did my deep rooted judgement come from... it is so ugly. The continual revelation of it makes me sick... who am I. Tho holy woman.. ah, I think not. It was taught, trained, brainwashed, and part flesh this rooted Judgement... it comes with out thinking.. it is sadly ever where. Thank God that it is being shown to me, but it makes me sick. Our own sin should make us sick. I just hate seeing it, but it also makes me fall more in love with Jesus.

So who am I and who I want to be....
Well in honesty.. I most likely have more of an on the fence life... try to be positive, have peace and courage to live out the bold life I am called and I fall short way more then I would like to think. So how do I become the person that I want to be... die to self over and over... surrender to the one who does not see my sin and chases it into the sea. The one that forgives over and over.

My prayer... hope is here, he is here, the one I want to be can only come from a life in HIM.

Where am I ?

I may not know where I am but will always know where my God is... he is right here. The numbness is too much sometimes.. he is there through it all.. never going to leave me or give up on me. I look back at the last two years and wonder how somethings happen and how I got through them.. I must say it was my God that got me through.

We are not going to get through this life without scares or pain. Life really hurts sometimes! I will not let anyone take my joy! I choose to stand up again... not letting my past dictate my future, Amen!! No answers.. right determination. As time passes... feelings change, faces move, beauty transforms and everything rearranges your reality never stays the same.

Learning again and again.. that I am really not in control of a whole lot. The faster I can let go and let God change my perspective or reality the more enjoyable life is. So here I am God.. one step at a time. Learning, Growing.. scares and scratches... broken and battered but never freer. He is working.. not done with me let.. Amen!!

So not giving up... walking because I know who my God is.. he isn't giving up on me! I know how he see's me!
